Re: [WAMUG] iphone setup

[Neil Houghton]

Hi John,

 

The thing to remember is that IOS assumes that a single person uses the device 
(phone or iPad) so each person has their own Apple ID.

 

Apple recognises that often more than one person uses a computer but expects 
that each person will have their own account – hence, as Peter says, if Julie 
has her own account on the Mac(s) and uses her own Apple ID on her phone and on 
her Mac account all should go smoothly.

 

It gets more complicated if two people use the same computer using the same 
user account (ie without setting up accounts for each user) as that is not how 
Apple expect you to do things!

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Neil

Does Julie have an account on your Mac Mini? If not, create one, then set it up 
with iCloud access for her, and make sure all the iCloud services you want to 
access are turned on. You then set up iCloud access on her iPhone to match.

 

I’m sorry this is such a cut-down explanation, but a more detailed one would 
take much more time than I have at the moment. I’m sure once you get going it 
will all become self-evident.

Can someone please shed some light on this problem.

 

Thanks and regards
